Post #240,518 by broomberg 1/5/06 6:55:30 PM Reply	Ahh - Plextor == Top of line At least in all the reviews. Yup, got my standalone Plextor SCSI CD Burner.
Post #240,524 by Andrew Grygus 1/5/06 8:56:07 PM Reply	Well, my Plextors all had problems and a short life. Problems like the drawers refusing to open if there wasn't a CD in them (had to use a paperclip through the pin hole) and unreliable reads. My luck with other brands has been no worse.

If you have a SCSI controller available, get SCSI burner. -NT - (jbrabeck) - (13) - Dec. 27, 2005, 02:39:32 PM EST

Not seeing any at Newegg - (drewk) - (2) - Dec. 27, 2005, 02:53:32 PM EST

I did the GIFY and did NOT find any reasonably priced... :-( -NT - (jbrabeck) - (1) - Dec. 27, 2005, 03:01:31 PM EST

Yeah, I saw that too -NT - (drewk) - Dec. 27, 2005, 03:18:41 PM EST

IME, Plextor was a great brand 10 years ago -NT - (pwhysall) - Jan. 6, 2006, 02:07:51 AM EST

Perfectly reasonable - (broomberg) - (1) - Jan. 5, 2006, 10:22:07 AM EST

And in my experience, SCSI CDs fail at the same rate . . . - (Andrew Grygus) - Jan. 5, 2006, 11:04:35 AM EST

I'm assuming you *don't* mean SATA. - (Another Scott) - Dec. 27, 2005, 02:44:57 PM EST
